Sahih Muslim is a well-known book of authentic hadith and the distinctive method of compiling the chain (of hadith) in the book makes it very unique among the Islamic Scholars. The hadiths in Sahih Muslim are arranged in a very interesting method, especially in terms of summarizing the sanad and turuq hadith because it is very different compared to other books of hadith. Therefore, this study is conducted to examine the variety of methodsregarding the sanad hadith in Sahih Muslim. This paper is a qualitative study with an ethnographydesign. It uses documents as research instruments and it is analyzed with an inductive approach. The study results found that Imam Muslim has his own method in writing sanad by combining his teachers with conjunctionsal-‘Atf.This combination is in order to merge some sanad of hadith with the method of wāwal-‘Atfandal-Taḥwīl. Hence, the method used by Imam Muslim has highlighted the greatness of the muhaddithin in writing the book of hadith

The study of Hadith contains different subjects including Takhrīj al-Ḥadīth which refers to the investigation of Hadith into the original book with the complete sanad. Previously, this subject was traditionally taught by referring to the numbers of Hadith collection, but due to the technological advance, many modern approaches were introduced in producing better learning process especially among the students. This study aims to discuss the importance of online learning in the study of takhrīj al-ḥadith which is used to verify the authenticity and reliability of a Hadith. Furthermore, this study attempts to develop a website which able to assist students in understanding the arrangement of sanad and visualising syajarat al-asānīd in an accurate diagram. The study will elaborate the processing steps in developing the website which focuses on selected Hadiths from Sahīh Muslim. All selected Hadiths have a unique symbol of ‘ha’ which has a special meaning in term of sanad arrangement. As a methodology, this study proposes a machine learning technique to visualize the chain of narrators (isnād) as to present the chronological transmission of Hadiths recorded from a Muslim scholar to another. The narrators’ names will be manually extracted by identifying a set of keywords and verbs from the sanad part in a Hadith. Then, from a list of narrators, graph theory will be applied to present a diagram of the chain of narrators from a selected Hadith. The result shows that the usage of website as a medium of learning the Hadith is more practical, and this developed website is a continuous effort for other innovations in the field of Hadith which concerns specifically on sanad.
